Young beginners in wrong-doing
never look at the end-as they might
thousand times in the example Of 9TH
ers' ruin whose first step downward wa
the very one they are taking. The des-
pair which inevitably closes The IN
checked career of those who throw their
talents and the promise of their youth
away, has seldom been more affectinglI,
presented than we find it in the follow.
ing little ife-sketch:
Less than, three months ago a wreck
of man staggered into the Office of q
weekly-pape in eastern Michigan and
asked for money to buy whiskey.
Strangely enough the publisher was an
old school-mate. They were appren-
tees in the same town. They worked
side by side as finished compositors.
One had sobriety and thrift-the other
had. a good heart and an open hand.
Twenty years made the one rich and in
fuential-the other drunkard who Of
ten slept: in, the gutter. The one had
made use of what God had given him,
but, the other had deliberately made
himself a wreck.
The meeting called up a host Of rec..
objections, and the contrast between.
their situations was so great that the
old drunkard: was sobered as he realized
it,. He was offered work, but: he had
become too broken. The stick and tho
rule. were no,longer for him.. He. WAS
oferedia temporary home, but he looked
at his rags and felt his shame for the
first time in months. When money was
handed. him he waved it back and said, -
! II shall not want it,. I. ask IN the
name. of olden days and as fellow.
craftsman, one little favor
TT shall be granted"
"When, you know that I am dead then

!, The promise was made and the. old;
wreck hoated ont again on the. current
of Life, borne here and there, and: feel.
ing that death was to be the end. Yes.
,terday a copy of the weekly reached the.
Free. Press with proof that the, editor
had frlflled his promise. He, had
turned q rule for the poor. wreck, and
had given him line: -
"Died, September H., 1882; George

fields. London, where the fatal panic
recently occurred rese1nbled a disor-
dered auction room. Broken furniture,
crushed toys, chi]dren's hats, broken
bottles, orange peel, actors wigs and
shreds Of clothes lay scattered over
the floor. There were many blood
spots on the backs of chairs, as we'll
as on the floor. Every here and there
CHASTITY knots ofhair were clinging to
the furniture. Several escapes were
made through the windows, most OF
which are badly smashed. The ladies
were found at the. bottom of
the stone stairs leading to the
gallery. Here a. terribe struggle
took place between the front of the
crowd rushing from the main floor and
the leaders of the throng which rushed
down the gallery stairs. The dead
lay mostly in opposing rows, the feet
OF each row close to those OF the other,
one row OF heads lying toward the
gallery stairway, the other toward
the opposite side Of the hall. The
faces of the dead were distorted with
agonized expressions. The clothes
were completely torn from the bodies
Of some OF the victims. A little girl,
since identified as Eva Marks, was
found lying at the bottom of pile OF
dead. Her lower limbs were bare and
the upper part of her dress. was torn
to shreds, showing that she had
fought hard for life. Isaac Levy, q
venerable Hebrew with long white
flowing hair and beard, was found
among the dead. He and his
wife were regular attendants at
the performances which had been
given in the hall. They always sat
near the door: 1t is thought from the
position in which his body was found
that Mr.. Levy, instead Of fleeing alone
when the panic started, renamed to
help and protect his wife. So. the old
man was brushed downby the rushing
crowd and stamped to death. His
wife's body lay opposite. The woman
was in the prime Of Lie, and wore
brightly-colored clothes and quanti-
ties Of jewelry. Beside her lay q little
boy whose knicker bockers and stock
ings were torn to shredS. 2

were numerous six being made during the
game. Mr. Sullivan, Chicago umpire, judged
the playing with impartiality and fairness.
The two runs of the Indianapolis club were
made in the second inning, after Shomberg had
gone out fly to Hines. by McGeachy and
Bassett making safe hits advancing on a passed
ball, McGsachy scoring a wild pitch. Cahll

base hit, had been put out by Boyle. Denny ard
Gasscock while trying to steal third. In the
